Diuretics?

Hi All,

Is anyone of you using a diuretic? I'm retaining water, a lot...

Due to an infection, I had to start wearing compression bandages around my lower legs. The first day I wore them, I had to go to the bathroom every 10 minutes for about a whole day, it just kept on coming. Started feeling like a broken tap.

A few weeks later now, and thinking about things. I would really like to do something about this. This can't be good.

I've been looking for a practicioner doing lymphatic drainage, but can't find anyone yet...

Are there any natural products that can help me, that are safe, and that will not cause me to take them my whole life once I've started (that is what drs have been saying in the past, once you start those supplements, you will have to take them your whole life - don't even know if this is true?).

Thank you!!

I don't know for sure but my GP has had me on and off diuretics (before lyme). Isn't lemon water a natural diuretic?

What type of salt are you using? If it's typical table salt, you might try pink Himalayan instead. Table salt is like white flour, lacking the good parts. Ever since I've used the pink salt, table salt tastes bad to me. I use less salt when using the pink salt than I do with table salt too. There are other sea salts, I just happen to like this one better than others I've tried. My thinking is that less sodium might help with some of the retention problem. Here's a site that has the pink salt if you're interested, www.saltworks.us/shop/product.asp?idProduct=1034 .

Coconut water is a natural diuretic
